LiberAmoris Report post Posted January 7, 2015 Kitchen herbs and rosebushes streaming with snow peas and fluttering petals. Wow, this smells like spring! Kind of a weird experience to spray this when there's snow on the ground outside, but I'll happily indulge in anything to distract me from winter's chill. A Triumphal Arch of Leaves and Flowers atmo spray is really equally split between the herbs, the snow peas, and the roses. The herbs and snowpeas make a kind of phantom note that reminds me a bit of seaweed—in a good way! There's something very green here to balance out the rosebushes. After spraying, my husband walked in and said "Roses!" so clearly it's not rose-light, but the greenery is prominent. After a bit, this smells, somehow, like a green rose. It's fascinating! I'll definitely keep and enjoy this one, especially since spring is a ways off yet. ETA: This morning the room I spritzed this in smelled mostly of roses, with just a hint of green. I love rose and am so glad this note won out and lingers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
izile Report post Posted January 16, 2015 First off it smells really clean and light. The snow pea steps up first with some really spring/summer light herbals; then the rose comes out, and it's a beautiful light, fresh, clean rose scent. It borders on being just a touch soapy, but just barely to me. This smells much lighter/cleaner than Splendid Summer Days, which also lovely-floral, but a much deeper, golden scent. I'd say, if you wanted to compare the two (because I did), that Triumphal Arch smells like spring outside with flowers in the open air, and Splendid Summer Days smells like flowers inside a warm florist shop, with sun streaming heavy through big plate windows. They are similar, but distinctly different. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zankoku_zen Report post Posted May 26, 2015 Pink rose petals, springy florals, and a soapy breeze. I don't really get the kitchen herbs on this one, but this is a delicate, spring rose blend. It smells like golden sunshine filtering through pink rose bushes. It's clean, light, and feminine in a very homemaker way. Honestly, I think this is what June Cleaver's kitchen would smell like.

alterosen Report post Posted January 5, 2019 (edited) This is pretty but the roses & other flowers are a little soapy & high-pitched for me. I get a tiny bit of bitterness in the greenery, too, that I don't enjoy in the way I do the Queen's Croquet Ground where the grass & roses are richer/deeper notes than these.
